Labour will try to move the national debate to the NHS by backing an anti-privatisation bill as Ed Miliband comes under renewed pressure over a record low personal rating.

Lord Prescott, the former deputy prime minister, used his column in the Sunday Mirror to complain that it seemed strategy was “driven by the pointy-heads not the lionhearts”.

“In these last six months we need passionate campaigners to sell our popular policies,” he added.

Andy Burnham, the shadow health secretary, will be in Rochester to support Naushabah Khan, the party’s byelection candidate, who will challenge her rivals to say they would use their first day as an MP to support a Labour-backed bill to repeal some of the coalition’s health reforms.
